Notes: 

        You can use 1 rice paper wrap, but I prefer to use 2 together to avoid tearing. I find it much easier to wrap and I am able to fit more veggies in that way! This is a recipe that you can definitely get creative with! I sometimes add things like strawberries, mango, pineapple to give it a more spring twist. You can also switch up the dipping sauce to your liking. There are so many ways to make salad rolls and a creative way to get your raw veggies in.
